Full disclosure: I’m going off the title alone in this comment. It’s late.
That said: no fucking shit
Fear mongering is kinda their thing. The illegal brown people are INVADING lol. The libs are DESTROYING our country…
Look at how they are with their guns. Every time there’s another school shooting another GUNS SAVE LIVES bumper sticker is sold. “This was preventable, if only I, Rambo was there.” No. You wouldn’t have saved shit and you don’t need a gun to survive.
The GOP and MAGA folks are nothing but scared pussies. Enough with this snowflake mentality.
The other aspect I believe plays into this is insecurity. They can't accept brown & black people being equal, or LGBTQs being just as human as they. They can't accept that some people don't believe in the same God they do, or have the self confidence not to believe in any god at all. They are frightened by people making choices different from those they would make because it might mean their own choices are wrong. And they react by lashing out, trying to put "those people" back in the closet or into second class citizenship or labeling them as baby killers. They don't have the self confidence to let others have the freedom to make their own decisions, run their own lives.
they're the snowflakes now.
